Sound Off: Something must be done

Something has to be done about the people in the wheelchairs. We almost hit one Sunday night about 8:30 p.m. I had the green light and the person came out from between two parked cars. No light and they yell at us.

Put in a round-about

I'm calling about the intersection at Pawling Avenue, Congress Street and Route 2. With the real estate property there with that island, with all these new round-abouts going in. That probably should have been the way to go on that. Just put a round-about in. There's more than enough room to do that. These lights are way too long. Takes you 25 minutes to get off Pawling Avenue onto Congress or Route 2.

Something is wrong

I'd like to sound off to the federal government. Gave the people that worked all their lives, pay into Social Security and retire and then have to pay $114 as of Jan. 1 for Medicare. And then you got people sitting home that don't work a day in their lives, collecting welfare and getting their health insurance free. Tell me what's wrong with this picture.

Doesn't belong in the store

On Dec. 14, I went to a local Family Dollar. There was a pit bull inside the store. The pit bull was very aggressive, barking and growling at everybody that came in and out of the store. When did it become legal to have pit bulls inside the store?

Everything is going up

We've got ourselves a Social Security raise next month. In the meantime Medicare went up and our co-pays went up. We don't get no raise.

A joke

In Wednesday's mail I received Assemblyman Canestrari's final end of year report. He seemed to ignore the opportunity to wish his constituents a Merry Christmas. He wished us the best for 2013. What a joke.
